About the only time I use limit orders is when the market is closed for next day purchase, so I have had no problems.....Gil p.s. Too many times I have lost out on a good move by trying to be cute and save 1/8 or a quarter on a limit buy and after missing out, watch the stock double, so I usually use market unless the stock is really thin...Gil

> Have you had any recent experience with limit orders in Ameritrade? Today I entered a limit order to buy 200 stocks between bid and ask. I wasn't quick enough to change the browser window to real time quotes without already being able to see my order as new bid price. One minute later I recognized that my order was filled (with real time quotes). After changing back to the browser window of Ameritrade and pushing the reload button, I could see that my order was filled. What more should I expect from a online discount broker. I'm glad that it seems that Ameritrade has really solved its previous problems! (Disclosure: I'm a customer and NOT a shareholder of AMTD)
